Certain of the statements made in this website are forward-looking statements
(within the meaning of Section 21E of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934), which are based on our current
assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently
available to us. These forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are
not limited to the following lists.
(1) General economic conditions in our markets, which are
primarily Japan, North America, Europe and Asia, particularly
China;
(2) Unexpected changes in economic, political and legal conditions
in countries where we operate;
(3) Our ability to develop, launch and produce innovative
products, including meeting quality and delivery standards,
and our ability to otherwise meet the advancing technological
requirements of our customers, particularly in the highly
competitive markets for ceramics, semiconductor parts and
electronic components;
(4) Manufacturing delays or defects resulting from outsourcing
or internal manufacturing processes which may adversely affect
our production yields and operating results;
(5) Factors that may affect our exports, including a strong
yen, political and economic instability, difficulties in collection
of accounts receivable, decrease in cost competitiveness of
our products, increases in shipping and handling costs, difficulty
in staffing and managing international operations and inadequate
protection of our intellectual property;
(6) Changes in exchange rates, particularly between the yen
and the U.S. dollar and Euro, respectively, in which we make
significant sales;
(7) Exposure to credit risk on trade receivables due to customers’
worsening financial condition;
(8) Inability to secure skilled employees, particularly engineering
and technical personnel;
(9) Insufficient protection of our trade secrets and intellectual
property rights including patents;
(10) Our continuing to hold licenses to manufacture and sell
certain of our products;
(11) The possibility that future initiatives and in-process
research and development may not produce the desired results;
(12) The possibility that companies or assets acquired by
us may not produce the returns or benefits, or bring in business
opportunities, which we expect, and may require more cost
than expected for integration;
(13) Events that may impact negatively on our markets or supply
chain, including terrorist acts and outbreaks of disease or
war;
(14) The occurrence of natural disasters, such as earthquakes,
in locations where our manufacturing and other key business
facilities are located;
(15) The possibility of future tightening of environmental
laws and regulations in Japan and other countries which may
increase our environmental liability and costs and expenses
to observe the obligations;
(16) Fluctuations in the value of, and impairment losses on,
securities and other assets held by us;
(17) The possibility that deferred tax assets may not be realized or additional liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits may be
required; and
(18) Changes in accounting principles.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our
actual results, performance, achievements or financial position
to be materially different from any future results, performance,
achievements or financial position expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statements included
